Our Family Picture

So, after taking thousands of photos this summer for other peoples weddings, reunions, birthdays, graduations, etc, I realized that our family had not had our picture done since really last fall and that is was time for a new one. Well, Benson is a cheese ball and loves to sit for a pic but Max on the other hand doesn't like to sit still for any length of time unless otherwise distracted. So my attempt was to try and snap a shot of us on Memorial day down at Afton's house turned out successful but not without any stresses. We drove around looking for a spot around the golf course but the sun was so harsh during the afternoon hour. And being a relatively new area, the landscaping is too new for any great shaded areas. We ended up back at the house and there was a great big chair perfect for our shot. Well, we got one...finally....a family photo where the boys are looking toward the camera, you can see our faces without weird shadows and Justin and I are not looking in distress or trying to coerce the boys into looking at the camera. Thanks to April who pushed the button for us and Aly for jumping up and down above the camera to get the boys' attention! Ahhhhhh....we've completed the task, at least for now!
